Great learning experience with veterinary colleagues this past weekend at Denali Equine hosting Sharon May-Davis for a horse dissection.

Just wrapped up 2 days learning at Denali Equine Rexos Inc about the implications of poor saddle fit, and best practices to avoid saddle damage to horses. WOW, this is critical information that every horse rider needs to know! I will provide some tips in a follow up post.

What is the difference between skilled dentistry and “floating”? Here is a recent case that we saw of a donkey living at a rescue/sanctuary. He has had routine floating, and the caretaker is very concerned with his welfare. At first glance in his mouth, I saw a “shear mouth” and very large ramps/overgrowth of the last molars on the bottom arcades. Clearly, nobody had worked on these for quite some time.

Shear mouth is a condition where the angle of the cheek teeth becomes so steep that chewing effectively cannot occur on that side. It often originates from pain/pathology/tooth fractures on the affected side. A thorough exam with the mirror did not reveal any obvious pathology (although we might take radiographs later, but he was quite the difficult patient to sedate). He also had atrophy of the temporalis muscle on the R side, confirming that he has not been using that side of his mouth.

The ramp on the last molar on the R side was embedding into the soft tissue, so possibly pain from that was causing him to avoid chewing on that side. This donkey seemed to realize that I was helping him, as despite his difficulty with sedation, he allowed me to work on that side of his mouth.

I made the first of a series of corrections to reduce the ramps and correct the table angle, and we will continue seeing him every 3 months.

We are excited to announce that our haul-in clinic space at the farm in Bloomington is nearly complete! This will allow us to have a conditioned working space for dentals and acupuncture, as well as expand to future sports medicine diagnostics and treatment. The clinic is also adjacent to our indoor arena for gait analysis and evaluation of horses under saddle.

A patient getting into his treatment!

Two consecutive days of acupuncture posts! What is going on in these photos??? This horse had a proximal suspensory injury, and we already treated him with PulseVet shockwave therapy. I decided that he might also benefit from electroacupuncture to move stagnation from the area. Here we are treating the Small Intestine (outside of the leg) and Large Intestine (inner leg) channels. I had also placed a dry needle in PC-9 (endpoint of pericardium channel, between the heel bulbs). Blood freely poured out of that point when the needle was removed--release of stagnant energy!

Treating with acupuncture after a dental--this is "integrative dentistry"! Horses with TMJ issues often have tight fascia in the head and poll. After I correct the structural issues in the teeth, I will often put in a few acupuncture needles to treat the fascia. Here I used Da feng men, GB-20, and BL-10.

Visiting Chi University in FL for the advanced equine acupuncture course, so I will bring home some new techniques and principles to apply to patients. If you aren't continuing to learn, stagnation will occur!
